DL atelier forest office beijing designboom
the ‘forest office’ is a 200m2 space by DL atelier in beijing, china. created for a non-governmental organization business incubator, the structure is an accessible hub for visiting agencies and groups. DL atelier took influence from the forest, a constantly evolving landscape similar to the always changing needs and personalities of the NGO staff. the resulting interior is spontaneous, yet cohesive, and offers dozens of nooks, ledges, and seats for employees to play and get lost in.
